> Also (3) I don't get, because while I am extremely motivated by intellectual curiosity, I have maybe zero motivation to "develop my intelligence" like it was

  I mean I'm not driven to be "smarter", whatever that is. I am immersed in finding out more about everything that interests me. Like I don't read to be well read. I don't listen to news to be informed. I read and listen out of my interests.

    And during the process of learning what interests you, do you ever find that something tangentially related, you don't fully understand and should learn more about it. I don't think anyone literally thinks, I need to know this to improve my intelligence as it is a weakness. It's usually more abstract.

  Most of us are smart enough. Really, most things come down to doing the work, and doing it for reasons that make sense.
